It’s March the 8 and everyone is filling their mouths with beautiful words and big words like “feminism”, men and women.

I have never felt a feminist, but I have always supported the equal rights and duties between men and women, not equality, because let’s face it, we are not at all equal. In short, I support an egalitarian disparity.

But it seems to me that the reality of everyday life in Italy is far from equal, and very often is far removed even from respect for the individual woman as such. I could make 1000 examples, here are some. In italy 70% of ginecologists do not deal with abortions, with the result that in many facilities the law 194 on abortion rights is not protected. I consider it a serious form of gender violence, also because these women’s partners are never mentioned, they have no responsibility, nor moral, nor material. We want to talk about work and if the working woman is protected, especially if mother? Also in this fiel, very ofte, tacit exploitation policies are implemented, which often borders to blackmail. I will not even touch the lack of legislation regarding domestic violence and femicide …

I conclude by talking about the general strike today. The unions, to celebrate women, have organized it, with the result that many schools are closed and public transport bably works all day long. I wonder if the promoters of this strike ever askethemselves how working moms could organize this day. Of course, they not, They have thought that women arranged it somehow, as they always have! And I scream at all of them and to our political leaders: SHAME !!!!!
